Foods Diabetics Should Probably Stay Away From

27. Sugar-Free Coffee Creamer

Many people can’t drink their coffee without creamer, and that’s perfectly understandable. Black coffee is an acquired taste, which is where creamer can help. And while diabetics may be drawn to the sugar-free options on the market, it’s important to note that this is not as healthy as it may seem. Most sugar-free creamers actually substitute the sugar with artificial sweeteners that can still raise your blood sugar levels exponentially. 

That doesn’t mean that you have to drink your coffee black, though. Nutritionists would suggest having your coffee with half and half, as this will provide you with fat rather than sugar, which is better for those with diabetes.
